I just read this in this morning edition of the New York Times... I'll also include a link to the story.
Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the same scenario that caused the original MA BELL to break up back in '79 or so? This is ridiculous, if you ask me. GREED. Nothing but greed. SBC has already gobbled up two of the regional Bell local networks down here within the past four years and now they're shooting to take over ATT.
And what's even funnier is the fact that ATT not even just finished inking the deal to merge with Cingular Wireless! And to think, when I worked for MCI Telecommunications back in '96, ATT was the nation's largest and most feared telecommunications giant. Sad things is, MCI Telecomm. was the very reason why MA BELL broke up in the first place and all the baby Bells split up... and enabled us as consumers to choose our local and long distance carriers.
Any comments?
